Well, summit carrys a regulator like that and will save you 20$. I bought my 4 inch cowl from Ebay for 275+ shipping.



I dropped the tank and converted to holley pumps before but the 86 TA i have will be going your route with the bypass reg.


Good luck.

Yes sir, for 275$ +shipping it is a bolt on hood made of fiberglass. It will however have a few spots that are bubbled that you need to fill, doesnt take much, i love this hood. It loks HUGE from the inside so if you are under 6 ft you might be worried.

hahaha yeah
Do you like the 4" better than a 3" im just afraid of not being able to see haha i sit up straight but im still only 5'10"
And did you order yours from a eBay company or did you just get lucky and find one? if so do you remember the name of the company maybe? and the cost of shipping?
Thanks!!!!

I think the 4 inch is better than the 3, but i am 6'3. You might be fine with it, it is just intamidating looking. The name of the company is Liberty Fiberglass, on Ebay they onle sell it for 275$ buy it now, shipping was 115$ i believe to here in TX. They are located in Cincinatti. (or however you spell it)


Here it is, they went up since...290$
